Your .17 HMR plastic sliding box-top....... "LOOKS" like you have a live .17 HMR rimfire round.....next to the Nickel ((in the 2D video))!!! ((( But I know it's just a picture/label.)))

I am genuinely doing better in the iron..... with Manticore.,.,.,.,., over the Deus-2. But........ I have always felt like I might be biased.,.,.,., even though I seek scientific data.

Can you do a .17 HMR field report also!!!? :?: :D

Both models do well. I can use both and feel good about. Sites can be hit with both..

That box in video is 17hm2 (not 17 hmr). I have used both calibers. The 17 hm2 is a necked down CCI stinger case with 17 cal bullet inserted. Unlike 17 hmr which is 22 magnum rim fire case with 17cal bullet inserted.
I used used 17 hm2 more. Nice little round. Vudoo offers this with their models. Think you said previously you had vudoo.
I don’t have vudoo. Rather CZ 455/457 models. I use Lilja aftermarket 17 hm2 barrels on the CZ receivers.

Maybe I better not do a field report. On the 17 hm2.
It is a real squirrel getter. Longer range capable.
Groundhogs too.

Yes........ I have a Vudoo.
And........ Carson (at Lilja) is building me a custom barrel to a CZ-457 MTR at the moment.
I am MUCH more fond of the HM2 (VS the HMR).
